Maybe Tomorrow

You pulled me aside today and 
Asked me to dance and
I said,
“Maybe I’ll dance tomorrow.”

You called me today and 
Invited me to go out and
I said,
“Maybe I’ll go tomorrow.”

You tucked me in today and
Told me to sleep and
I said,
“Maybe I’ll sleep tomorrow.”

You cooked for me today and
Told me to eat and
I said,
“Maybe I’ll eat tomorrow.”

You tugged at me today and
Begged me to stay and
I said,
“Maybe I’ll stay tomorrow.”

You sat next to me today and
Held me tight and 
I said, 
“Maybe I’ll be okay tomorrow.” 

You held my hand today and
I cried on your shoulder and
You said
Nothing because you understood.
